Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces: Which Is Right for You?



Modern Options for a Straighter Smile

Choosing the right orthodontic treatment can feel overwhelming. At Marinaside Dental, we help patients understand their options so they can make confident decisions. If you’re considering straightening your teeth, you might be wondering whether Invisalign or traditional braces are best for you.

How Invisalign Works? 

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners to gently shift your teeth over time. They're nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable.

How Traditional Braces Work?

Braces use metal brackets and wires to move teeth. They are effective for complex orthodontic cases and often recommended for younger patients.

Which One Is Right for You? Consider Invisalign if you:

  • Want a discreet option
  • Prefer to remove your aligners for meals
  • Have mild to moderate misalignment

Consider braces if you:

  • Need correction for more complex issues
  • Prefer a lower-maintenance solution
